The B-2 Spirit is a stealth bomber primarily used by Uninted States Air Force. The stealth bomber B-2 is powered by four General Electric F118-GE-100 turbofan engines internally mounted in the body of the wings. The B-2 Spirit cockpit accommodates two crew. It is equipped with a colour, nine-tube, electronic flight instrumentation system (EFIS), which displays flight, engine and sensor data and avionics systems and weapons status. The pilot can choose to activate the appropriate selection of flight and mission equipment for take-off mode, go-to-war mode and landing mode by using a simple three-way switch. It is capable of all-altitude attack missions up to 50,000ft, with a range of more than 6,000nm unrefuelled and over 10,000nm with one refuelling, giving it the ability to fly to any point in the world within hours.

The B-2 was built in California at Air Force Plant 42. When it was moved out from that plant, the first B-2 Spirit was shown in public in November 22, 1988. The first open flight of the aircraft was in July 17, 1989. The Edwards Air Force Base and the Air Force Flight Test Center was the one who was in charge for the manufacturing, testing and development of the aircraft. In the late 1980s, the 135 aircrafts were decreased to 75. President George Bush stated in his State of the Nation Address in 1992 that the manufacturing of the B-2 Spirit would be limited to 20. This decrease in number was mostly a result of the breakdown of the Soviet Union, which efficiently canceled the aircraft’s main operation.

It was considered the most expensive aircraft that was ever built. The estimated cost spent is said to be in the range of 1.157 billion dollars to 2.2 billion dollars. By assessment, a Nimitz aircraft carrier rate was 4.5 billion dollars. Though, the cost statistics were twisted by aircraft’s huge development cost. By this defective logic, the first B-1 aircraft would cost above 20 billion dollars to build. Available estimates have revealed the production cost was just about 150.6 million dollars per aircraft.
